IHOP — Restaurant in Santa Ana

Amazing service and surprisingly good food!

Came in on a rainy afternoon with two friends after we cut a ton of weight for a competition and were itching for a feast. We ordered the Breakfast Sampler, Classic Burger, 2x2x2, Quick 2-Egg Breakfast, Buttermilk Pancakes (x2), Strawberry Banana Pancakes, Bold and Spicy BBQ Omelette, Hashbrowns, Chicken Fajita Omelette, and Brunch Burger. It might’ve been the lack of solid foods for a few days, but damn did everything pretty much crush all our cravings. I expected much larger portions, but given the size of our order I think that was a bit of a blessing in disguise. The food doesn’t quite exactly take up an enormous amount of space or require large plates, but we were plenty full and satisfied. The chicken in the fajita omelette was surprisingly tender and still juicy, which I really didn’t expect from a diner. The brunch burger contained a variety of textures from the breakfast ingredients, and in general the hashbrowns weren’t steamed to mush. The pancakes were buttery and fluffy. Nothing that’s gonna knock your socks off, but nothing that will disappoint you here. Except the bold and spicy BBQ omelette. That was quite dry and felt slapped together but I’m giving that a pass considering it’s a limited item and the restaurant was packed.

I’ve got to commend the service and staff. They were very friendly and accommodated my last minute order of the omelette. The restaurant was incredibly packed and the waiters were still friendly and served our orders within about 5-10 minutes. Our table was also cleaned quickly before seating, another plus!

I rarely leave chain diners satisfied or even recommend them, but for the first time I’m actually itching to...

Came this morning to eat some breakfast with the babe! It was really early so it was nice to have the place sorta to ourselves. 😉 Miguel S. Helped us out ! He was very kind and had a positive attitude which I really appreciated especially very early in the morning! We both got breakfast combos . He got the french toast with strawberries and bananas (even though he didn't ask for bananas),egg whites with two pieces of turkey bacon, ham,&sausage, and hash browns! I ended up getting the tres leches pancakes with two pieces of bacon , scrambled eggs and hash browns. We also ordered two coffees. ☕☕ He also got an orange juice!🍊 Definitely store bought juice not fresh o.j. The food tasted good but it really wasn't that good of an amount for the price we ended up paying... The plate was pretty large compared to the food on it. There was a lot of space left. We ended up paying $50 for both of our meals 😬 which was a bit ridiculous especially for the small size of food we got. We usually go to NORMS because we can get almost the exact same thing for more and a lesser price. But we did enjoy the positive attitude and energy. They really are 24hours . (As much as I love NORMS & we stopped by before we came here too, unfortunately they were not open which I thought was strange especially when they are usually open 24hrs.) And it was around 5 am.🤷🏼‍♀️ Over all it was nice just to go out and eat breakfast, not satisfied with the total cost for only two people but it's okay. Ended up giving Miguel a $20 tip for the...

I don't know where to start.. Talk about the worst experience ever in an ihop. After driving six hours from vegas to have an amazing breakfast with my best friend, this is what I get. I had called the day before to verify That they had boysenberry syrup And they told me they did.. If they didn't I would have ordered something different. But after getting my hopes up, I'm really looking forward to my amazing breakfast with my best friend I place my order of my pancakes and specifically request that That they bring the boysenberry syrup the waiter said he was going to check on the syrup and came back to tell me that DON'T have it anymore 😡 even after the verified they did the day before..I ended up reordering chicken strips for the same price..THOSE come out over cooked and hard. I could have gotten the same thing at jack in the box alot cheaper and more food. Overall this was my worst experience ever with ihop ..we ended up have a amazing breakfast across the street at Dennys. Basically what it comes down to is im heading home back to vegas with a nice full belly from Dennys and a amazing day with...
